Every week Hive account@nelinoeva hosts a fun contest in the Feathered Friends Community. This week's theme is BIRD WITH FISH.

I knew I wasn't going to get any shots of birds with fish in the city. We have a couple of rivers but the banks nearby are all developed. Birds do fish in these waters, but it was unlikely I was going to get a shot of anyone with a fish in their mouth.

I didn't have time this week for an adventure, sooooo...

I did a thing.

I went to the pet store and got a package of stinky dehydrated Baltic Sprat.

Stinky, oily, smelly, stinky, slimy, dried, stinky fish that stink. Bad.

I offered them to the Chicken Family.

Only the youngster I call Bravely was brave enough to get near to the weird-ass reflective things I put next to the real food. They nabbed a few kibbles, gave me the that-stinks eye, and flew off. They didn't go back for more.

So I took my disgusting photo props over to Bo and Lorena, where they were a hit.
Sort of.

It was a warm and sunny day (for once), and Bo took his fish into the shade, forcing me to adjust the camera shutter to disappointingly low speeds so that I was unable to capture more than a blur as he tore into the heads with great relish.
He ate only the heads, and left the stinky fish bodies to rot on the neighbor's lawn. So rude.

Lorena, on the other hand, was gracious enough to give me a couple fish shots.

But she was being polite. She didn't like the fish, not even their heads. I can't say I blame her.

I really don't know what I'm gonna do with all these sprats, now that I know I can't pawn them off on the crows. Pilot doesn't like them, either. I put one in the cat's dish. She sniffed it and ran away and now I have a smelly apartment. It's a nostalgic smell, at least. Reminds me of way back in my saltwater fishing days when I would forget to take the bait out of the trunk when I got home.
Anyway...

Thanks for checking out my entry to the #smap contest!
